And the YouTuber-turned boxer was being interviewed by JOE when world heavyweight champion Tyson paid him a surprise visit.

He looked on in shock when the Gypsy King burst through the door and faked a punch.

But the two soon embraced after a light-hearted face off.

Although fans claimed Tyson’s son was more loyal than he was after the little ‘un left Paul hanging after the American offered him a fist-bump.

One said: “Tyson’s son is more loyal than him lol.”

Another said: “Little man is loyal to his uncle.”

One added: “Young ‘un knows what’s up.”

But in defence, one argued: “Tyson Fury knows it’s just business and he just talking to sell tickets.”

Paul, 26, and Tommy, 23, put unbeaten records, bragging rights and family reputation on the line on Sunday, February 26 in Saudi Arabia.

It marks the THIRD time the two will attempt to settle their score in the ring.

Tommy was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid a US visa issue.

But he hopes it really is third time lucky as his big brother warned him to leave no stone unturned in training camp.

Tyson, 34, told Sky Sports: “He can’t just go to the ice cream parlour and not train.

“He’s got to really focus and have the right sparring and everything. He’s got to take it really seriously.

“He’s got to do the job when he’s in there because it’s not just the opponent. If you take the opponent out of the equation.

“There’s big pressure, a big stadium, top of the bill and all that sort of stuff.

“The thrills and spills of big-time boxing sometimes get to them so it’s going to be interesting to see if Tommy can handle that pressure, which I know he can, but it’s going to be interesting to see him do it in front of the world.”

Tommy will be the first opponent with a recognised professional boxing record that Paul has faced.

But the American has beaten ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, in his 6-0 career.

And Tyson said: “I think he’s a decent boxer.

“A lot of people think he’s just a YouTube person who doesn’t know how to box but I’ve actually seen him training and I’ve actually seen his fights and I think he’s decent.

“He’s like a novice professional. He’s only had six fights so he’s exactly as good as he should be at this stage.
